The top two for me are The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. I went for the latter because of personal preference. Both had very little flaws. Lost is my favourite but I still wouldn’t give it ” THE BEST DRAMA SERIES” title. Game of Thrones would be up there too.

The Walking Dead and Dexter should not be on the list. I loved dexter, even seasons 5-7, but that final 12 episodes were disgracefully awful. Walking Dead has a excellent overarching narrative but the episode-episode writing and plot development is bad.

By the end of the century (or even mid way through), do you think any of these listed shows would still make the poll?

Breaking Bad takes the prize for me. Overall it never had a drop in quality and managed to stick the landing with the Finale, more than I could say of many of the shows in that list.Also, in my opinion, the shows of the 21st century blow out of the water any other television show that came before. This is the best television has ever been.
